I had the amazing privileged of spending the last week in Ocho Rios Jamaica at the RIU Resort. My wife's sister Kaitlin got married to Dustin Riley. It was a great week. Above is the view from the balcony in our hotel room.

The ceremony on the beach outside the resort. My wife is all bleary eyed in the left in the photo.

Some of the clan.

The poolside view.

Got a chance to play a round of golf at the Sandals course in Ocho Rios. Was in great shape and felt good to swing the sticks in January. You had to employ a caddy for the round and I wish I had one every time I golfed. It was hot but a great time.

It was a great week, other than the touch of food poisoning we got on the Friday. Always seems to happen on these types of trips to someone involved.

A big thanks to the Pats ownership for allowing me to take the week and go with my family. I missed being in the booth and look forward to Friday in Cranbrook against the Kootenay Ice.

---

On the to the world of sports. I felt pretty disconnected out there without TV but I've managed to get caught up since.

-The Pats hit the road today ahead of Fridays game against the Kootenay Ice and then the game Saturday in Lethbridge. A big four points with the Pats having lost 5 in a row. They do have two points in that stretch however. They sit 8 points up on Swift Current for second spot in the East Division with 24 games left on their schedule.

-Taylor Cooper has been great as a Pat. 7 goals and 4 assists in 9 games. And how about Adam Brooks? 20 goals on the season. What a break out year for the 18-year-old.

-I would be surprised if James Hilsendager didn't return to the Pats lineup this weekend. He's been out since before Christmas with an upper body injury.

-I don't care about the NHL All-Star Game. It's pointless. They need to make it mean something like in baseball or scrap it all together.

-Martin Brodeur will announce his retirement tomorrow in St. Louis and will join the Blues management staff. Is there any doubt he is the best of all time? Not in my mind.

-I like the Rider trade with the Argos that sent Ricky Foley to Toronto for linebacker Shea Emery. The Riders were and are deep at DE and could afford to give Foley up for Emery who will fill a desperate need in the middle of the defense. Also good to see Tyron Brackenridge re-sign with the club.

That's it from me today. Be sure to check out tonight's episode of Pats TV at 6:30 on Access 7. My guests this week are defenceman Colby Williams and forward Taylor Cooper.

Regina, Saskatchewan – The Regina Pats (26-17-3-2) made their final visit to Westman Place and allowed six unanswered goals as the Brandon Wheat Kings (35-9-3-1) rolled to an 8-3 win.

With the Jesse Gabrielle and Morgan Klimchuk facing off for the first time since being swapped on January 2nd, the Pats opened the scoring in the second half of the frame. Racing into the Brandon zone, Taylor Cooper fired a pass to the far side of the Brandon net that landed right on the tape of a streaking Pavel Padakin who deflected it past Jordan Papirny at 12:43 of the period. The Wheat Kings answered with Gabrielle in the box for interference. Klimchuk sent the puck toward the net and rookie sensation Nolan Patrick tipped the puck in mid-air past Daniel Wapple to tie the game on the powerplay with 2:11left in the period. Gabrielle didn’t wait long to make up for his penalty. He hit fellow Moosomin product Rykr Cole with a great stretch pass to break Cole into the zone. Cole fought off a check and ripped a shot past Papirny to restore the Pats’ lead with just over a minute left. The Pats took the 2-1 lead into the intermission despite trailing 12-8 on the shot count.

The second period scoring all went to the home side in a span of 4:25. The Wheat Kings tied the game off a bad bounce for the Pats when Ivan Provorov sent a shot from the point and it redirected into the Regina goal off the skate of Reid Duke 13:40 into the period. The Queen City Kids found themselves battling the Brandon powerplay again and the Wheat Kings struck as Ryan Pilon ripped a one-timer to the top of the net. The Wheaties made it 4-2 on another powerplay marker as Klimchuk flicked a quick pass to Patrick who scored his second of the night and 20th of the season. That score held to the break with the Wheat Kings outshooting the Pats 35-21 through forty minutes.

It only got worse for the Blue and White in the third period. The Wheat Kings got an early marker from Quintin Lisoway, just 3:01 into the period. He was followed by Duke, Pilon and Rihards Bukarts. The Pats stopped the bleeding when Adam Brooks stole the puck in the neutral zone and snapped home his 20th of the season. That would wrap up the scoring with the Pats dropping an 8-3 decision to the Wheat Kings after being outshot 55-27.

The Pats head into a break from game action before hitting the road for a two game trip to face Kootenay and Lethbridge. Catch those road games on 620 CKRM and WHL Live Web TV.
